Anyone get NFL2K2 for XBOX?

I have been waiting for this title. I liked the original on the DC. I have heard that madden 2002 is the best but, how does it compare with 2K2? And, lets not get into NFL Fever which I have heard is a festering heap. I need a good football game and I have a PS2, DC, and XBOX. Which is the best for the money?

Good call, anyone pick this up? I'm tempted to, but dang, the season is almost over... at least for my team. I might wait it out for 2K3 unless this has online support.

My buddy picked it up today. I have to wait until tomorrow to let you know what he thinks. We play Madden alot, so he has something to compare it to.

Bump.

That's funny. I have heard both are good but the reviews I have read & personal opinions I have heard is that Fever is a notch better than Madden.

If you want a huge, in-depth personal review, check this link out. This guy doesn't have a lot to do with his time.

Everything I have heard realistically comparing Fever and Madden is this:

Fever is prettier. Fever has a few features that Madden could use...

But if you are looking for a more realistic, deeper game, Madden is better. Fever is more arcade-like in that you can have fun if you just like to throw deep and run up the score. But in Madden, at the more reasonable difficulty levels, you are punished by the AI if you don't try to play a more realistic game... mixing up your offense, etc.

I hope that the old FB Pro people on the staff of NFL Fever bring some of the more sim-like feel to the game next year... then it could really be something!

I will pick up NFL2k2 today... Can anyone confirm whether the game supports system-link play or not? That would be awesome...

I know some of you guys don't like http://www.gamespot.com But they have a review up. It scored a 9.3!

The gamespot review was pretty good. I have a $30 Sears gift card that I got for christmas that I will use to go get this game. I need something to keep me busy during the off-season (I so hate baseball).

Fever's biggest problem (and this may seem minor to some or most people here) is that you are stuck at 5 min. per quarter if you play franchise. You should be able to change it at your whim.

Madden still has the best simulation around and has the most adaptability with AI in my opinion. All 3 games are good though, with Fever and 2k2 being more arcade skewed than Madden.

It is kind of late in the season for new football games. I'm waiting for the March, baseball releases....

If anyone is still interested in this, I saw it at Best Buy today.
Combine this purchase with the "Preferred Customer Weekend Sale" coupon which gives $5 off (if you got one in the snail mail).
This sale begins tomorrow Jan. 11 and ends Sunday Jan. 13.

I like NFL2K2 a lot better then Madden, but I think they could have improved the graphics more then they did for the XBOX version.
